And can a reserve pick up flying on off days?

Reserves can't pick up anything because it's almost guaranteed to conflict with your rest requirements.

I'm in the Q400, got just over 90 credit hours in June. I don't expect to work quite as much in July, but it should come to 75 hours or thereabouts.
Most of the jet captains aren't working that much, some only 20-30 hours a month. The exception seems to be the check airmen and instructors, who are working their tails off. Note regular lines in the jet have a min guarantee of 75 hours.

As to picking up trips, the ERJ pilots have some options. Because there's so little usage on reserve, I've been able to pick up about 30 hours a month for a while. Otherwise, I would've flown about zero hours (some of my classmates have to go back to the sim for currency).

This should be a wakeup call for Horizon pilots as well as every other pilot in the industry covered by the RLA. Follow the money. Congress wrote the RLA(who lobbies congress). Corporations lobby the Presidents that appoint these judges.
As a pilot the RLA is not your friend. Congress set the bar high so as to protect corporations and hinder unions.
